The production of gourmet oils is a time-honored tradition
in France. Originally, each village had a mill which roasted
and extracted the oil from nuts gathered by local farmers. These
delicious oils were used in hearty rustic fare and were also
found in Paris' finest restaurants.
La Tourangelle is one of just a handful of these remaining
mills that keep this tradition alive. Through a partnership between
one of the oldest and most respected French artisanal oil mills,
Les Huileries de la Croix Verte et la Tourangelle, based
in Saumur, France, and California Oils Corporation, La
Tourangelle has succeeded in recreating the spirit of a traditional
French oil mill in America.
Located in Woodland, California, La Tourangelle produces and
distributes an exclusive line of hand-crafted premium quality
oils, supplying high-quality product at a reasonable price. The
roasted walnut oil is produced in their Woodland, California
plant and the roasted almond oil will soon be produced there
as well. Their hazelnut oil and grapeseed oil are both products
of France.
You can find La Tourangelle's other roasted nut oils on our
Nut Oil Page and their grapeseed
oil on our Grapeseed Oil Page.
